UNSPSC 50486221: Stripetti squash purees

The variety of summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as stripetti squash which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486221 Stripetti squash purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of recently solicited state and local opportunities. State and local governments posting under this code are actually buying broad-based food procurement for institutional dining — fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, canned goods, consumable supplies, and prepared foods to stock cafeterias, state facilities, and correctional institutions, not specialty puree products. The issuing bodies are uniformly school districts, state health and human services agencies, and state departments of corrections across the South, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting canned tomatoes under ITB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases); and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia seeking comprehensive food and supplies under IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026). The code shows substantial recent activity but with a marked mismatch between the nominal commodity (stripetti squash purees) and the institutional food procurement actually being conducted.

State and local procurement under this code concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts and state agencies each representing roughly half the issuing bodies. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia posted a Master Grocery K-12 solicitation (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued parallel grocery and net-off-invoice bids for the 2026-27 school year (both due April 29, 2026); and the Douglas County School System in Georgia sought a main-line food service distributor capable of supplying 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, approximately $9 million estimated annual value). The Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center procurement lists a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million and indicates annual pricing submissions with firm fixed rates and CPI-indexed adjustments. State corrections departments and health agencies consistently apply Oregon preferences (5 percent for state-fabricated goods, 5 percent for resident bidders), Buy American Act requirements, USDA grade compliance, HACCP plans, and minimum insurance thresholds. Geographic spread is widest across the Southeast and into the upper Midwest, with less recent activity in the Pacific Northwest beyond Oregon. The code shows no set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises in the current opportunities, though school districts require federal compliance certifications including debarment and lobbying affidavits for bids over specified thresholds.
